I waited for you

You waited for me

That it seemed like, seemed like a mighty long time

Baby I had to have you

Oh, I had to have you

Come rain, rain or shine



It was a cold wind in August

Shivers up and down my spine

I was standin' in your garden

In the California pine



I was standing shivering

I've got the fever in the rain

But I can't come on back to see you

Again and again and again



I said I, I had to have you

Baby I had to have you

Come rain, come rain or shine



It was a cold wind in August

Shivers up and down my spine

And I was standing in your garden



In the California pine

California pine



(instrumental)



It was a cold wind in August

Shivers up and down my spine

I was standin' in your garden

In the California pine

In the California pine It was a cold wind in August

I was pushed on through September

Oh pushin' through September

In the rain

Pushin' through, pushin' through September

In the rain



Ooh

It was a cold wind in August

Shivers up and down my spine

I was standin' standin' in your garden

In the California pine
